Gara Rock

Clifftop hideaway across the estuary where dogs join you in the kitchen

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A clifftop hotel above the sea at East Portlemouth, across the estuary from Salcombe, with rooms, suites and coastal cottages. It suits people who want space and quiet with Salcombe a short ferry ride away. Dogs are welcome in the Gara Kitchen and the Residents Lounge, and every room with its own garden is dog-friendly.

Why it's in the collection

The South West Coast Path runs from the hotel to East Portlemouth in 45 minutes to an hour, and the East Portlemouth ferry to Salcombe takes dogs.
